In case you don't know it, Bungalow Bill brews his own beer. It tastes better, and it's a fun art to learn. Just be careful you don't put too much priming sugar into the batch as you begin to bottle your beer. If you do, it will sound like Obama's illegal bombing of Libya where ever you store your bottles as the beer goes through its secondary fermentation process.

I am wondering if the fascination with microbreweries has come to an end, or could it be with Obama's economy that Americans are tolerating cheaper beers like Natural Light, Keystone, or worse. Because what I am seeing today coming from the micro brewing industry is a lot like a worn out sitcom that feels they need to liven the show up for one or two more years by introducing a cute but out of place kid. You know, the Brady Bunch and Oliver, Diffrent Strokes had Sam, and the micro brew industry has chocolate donut flavored beer? Seriously?
Yes seriously, the Blaze has an article about ten new and strange micro brews that don't even sound as good as drinking a Swinkels--a economy import that can be described as a skunky European pale ale.
They list ten. I am only going to list the ones that caught my eye.
Pizza beer, what eating a pizza and drinking a beer together was too much of a challenge?
Alex from Stroh's and Spuds McKenzie were never seen again with their respective beers.
Bilk, a combination of milk and beer for the heavy drinker who doesn't want to take the time to soothe his stomach with a cold glass of milk.
Anheuser Busch definitely produces some crap beers, and in their quest to appear like a pseudo micro-brewery, someone who worked for the company apparently got drunk on Budweiser one night while eating at a St. Louis Red Lobster. This Budweiser is complimented with clam juice.
Beer, it isn't just for breakfast anymore, so don't be surprised if your neighborhood police officer can't resist the temptation. It's Chocolate Donut Stout, which in case you didn't know it they do use chocolate malt to produce a stout, but seriously, donuts? This kind of takes us full circle as someone must have thought it was too hard dipping a chocolate donut in his Guinness while trying to keep the sprinkles out of the beer.
